No one claimed responsibility, but police blamed the insurgent Taliban movement.
Meanwhile, Taliban militants on February 3 abducted four employees of a peace commission trying to persuade the extremists to side with the government.
They were on their way from the southern province of Uruzgan to Kandahar when abducted.
